What's your favorite movie? What are your top five favorite movies? Top ten?
It's relatively easy to come up with a short list of movies. These are the films that resonate with us. We come back to them again and again for their humor, their romance, their intensity. A person's list of their five favorite films describes not only what they like to watch, but what they like to watch repeatedly. But what about something a little more expansive? What about a little more challenging of a list like, say, top 50 favorite movies? We've all seen dozens if not hundreds of films. But do 50 of them make enough of an impact that we remember them, and would even consider them favorites? That's the trick of 50. What follows is a list of my 50 favorite movies, as well as a (slightly more) objective rating as to the actual quality of the film. Comments with regards to my list are welcome. 50. Gone With The Wind - 4/5 49. The Usual Suspects - 4/5 48. Ben-hur - 4.5/5 47. Darby O'Gill and the Little People - 3.5/5 46. To Kill a Mockingbird - 4/5 45. Inception - 4.5/5 44.
